Actually, Tom Laughlin passed away on Thursday, but it's just getting reported today. I remember seeing the Billy Jack movies at the Drive-In on Bragg Blvd in Fayetteville, NC back in the early 70's. They weren't very good, but back then, we didn't have the choices and all the internet reviews we do now. R.I.P.

If you think about it he was on the scene in 71 prior to the Green Latern later to be revealed as Mr. Lee debut in 72.... and his HAT was signature...after many azz whoop'ns I decided I need to learn this karate stuff they were talking about.
